An estate plan can be a good thing for any adult living in Nevada. This can be true even for individuals who don't have children. Creating a trust is beneficial for those who want to keep the details of an estate private after they die. It can also be helpful for those who are looking to avoid probate or otherwise looking to protect their assets.

As more assets are being held or stored online, it can create challenges for Nevada residents when it comes to estate planning.

Nevada residents may have a will that plays a role in determining where their assets go after they pass. However, a will by itself is not necessarily an estate plan. The estate plan is everything that a person does to manage their assets now and in the future. It can also help ensure that children and grandchildren are taken care of.

Nevada residents who are wondering if a will is enough for an estate plan should consider several points. If someone simply wishes to transfer his or her assets to loved ones and does not care about efficiency, then a will may be all that is needed. However, when an estate owner wants to get their assets to their beneficiaries as efficiently as possible, or if they want to add in details that are unrelated to testamentary intent, they likely need to go beyond a will.
